ChatGTP says, "The book you are referring to is likely "The Machine Stops" by E.M. Forster. This novella was published in 1909 and is set in a future where people live in individual rooms, connected to a global network that provides them with all their needs. The machines that run the network have become so efficient that people no longer need to learn or do anything for themselves. As a result, they have become isolated, shallow, and dependent on the network. When the network starts to break down, the characters are unable to cope and must face the consequences of their reliance on the machines."

Curious Worlds: The Art & Imagination of David Beck. The artist made some incredible automata and kinetic sculptures and it's a documentary that I've watched again and again to get ideas for my own works.

There's been quite a bit of tremor activity in the last month. I don't know if it is a change from before, but over the last month (2021-04-01 - 2021-05-06) basically everything west of I-5 from Portland, OR to Redding, CA has had deep tremors.

A robot with a self-cleaning feature would make me more likely to use it.

This would be a killer app on Google Glass.

Anyone notice the triangle of people floating in the empty space at the southwestern corner of San Francisco near Lake Merced? That appears to be the Olympic Club golf course. Do people actually list the golf course as their home address on their census forms?

Ah yes, that will do. Thanks!

Any ideas on how easy it will be to slurp JSON with Swift?

So can PencilCase apps be deployed as standalone iOS apps? Or only in AppDrop?

Please hire a copyeditor. Please.

If the third chart were a chart of the economy, I would swear that Microsoft IIS was a perfect representation of the housing/financial bubble. I can't think of why there would be a correlation though.
